Wdedig Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 This is the Airfix Kit and it was fun. Two toned scheme ...light and dark greens and browns. Decals from Hannants and they worked great, Xtradecals... Battle of Britain. SBS Resin engine....Very nice and very hard to see. Steel Wire for Bracing, EZLine for antenna. Photo-etched seatbelts,drilled out gun barrels Loved the shiny spinner and don't care if its correct for BoB. Looks cool Last photo shows the cross arms I almost forgot. Thanks For Looking Cheers Bill 46 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booty003 Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 What an absolute little cracker - I have fond memories of building a Gladiator when I was a young lad many, many moons ago!! Your rigging is perfect - I think that would of sent me insane!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wdedig Posted June 28, 2017 Author Share Posted June 28, 2017 Thank You All Very Much. Rigging was a challenge ,but a few beers and seemed to steady up. (I wish) Cheers Bill PS..Question to all...Does a Beufighter belong in the Battle of Britain collection??? Your opinions Please ? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Yes, if you're including the Luftwaffe night offensive as part of it, although I always think of the BoB as the daylight assault. The first Beaufighter ops were flown in September and October 1940 as part of the night defence effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vultures1 Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Very cool indeed - well done. The rigging is particularly impressive and I agree with you about the shiny spinner! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wdedig Posted June 28, 2017 Author Share Posted June 28, 2017 Thanks for all the positive feedback and thanks for the Beaufighter info. I tend to agree with you regarding the daylight aspect of the Battle. Cheers Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cngaero Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 That's a very nicely modelled Gladiator. I really like the colour scheme. Definitely one of the best Gladiators out there. Thanks for showing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
